With views of the Mississippi River, park-setting homes from the mid-1800s still thrive
Less than 2 miles from the Mississippi River is one of the largest historic neighborhoods in Davenport. Settled in the mid-1800s, Northwest Davenport took natural advantage of its hilltop views of the river and surrounding acreage to develop a chain of parks from west to east. Today, Crystal Creek and Emeis Golf Course connect eastward along Duck Creek to Northwest Park and Marquette Park. While homes are moderately priced and vary in age, it’s clear that outdoor assets were as essential to their original residents as they are to today’s buyers.
Most homes are within walking distance of city parks, the Mississippi River, creeks and more recently built neighborhood pocket parks. “While Northwest Davenport is an urban community, its location near the river and surrounding parks gives off peaceful, almost rural vibes,” says Jeff Dellitt with Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors, a Davenport real estate agent for more than 15 years. “Buyers love the views, the large lots and the wide-open spaces. Once they learn about the northwest area and walk around the community, they understand the unique value here.”
